[Trees-executive] Gen. Meeting update

[j-beauch at ux1.cso.uiuc.edu]

Kyra and I didn't see any announcement about the next General
Meeting come out by this morning, so she wrote and I polished
this version which is a somewhat updated version of the one
that Pauline sent out later on. Since I couldn't find Pauline,
on Colleen's recomendation, I sent this to Molly. I guess she
deemed it not necessary to propagate. Still, I think it is more
up-to-date than the other version, which actually originated 
from Kyra a couple of days ago, when things were more up in 
the air.

Come one, come all to our next General Meeting on TUESDAY, April 10,
at the Champaign Public Library at 7:00 P.M.!

We will have a panel consisting of three princple speakers. First,
Representative Tom Berns will give us his views on what role the
legislators will play in the on-going process of developing revised
regulations. Next, Peter Millburg, vegetation management representative
from Illinois Power will present IP's position on how they will
proceed in creating a revised tariff, and to gather testimony from
us about what issues we feel need to be addressed in any revision
they make. Then, Carl Malmgren will give IPCUTOT's point of point of
view. There will be plenty of time for questions from the floor.

IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE A LARGE VISIBLE AND VOCAL
AUDIENCE AT THIS MEETING, so that IP will understand that we are
a force to be dealt with in any decision making process for the
creation of a new tariff. Please plan to attend this meeting, and
bring along friends, neighbors, and relatives who might be interested
in learning where we go from here in the on-going battle against the
potentially unreasonable invasion of our property rights and the
unnecessary destruction of our communities' valuable urban forests.
If  YOU CARE ABOUT THE FATE OF OUR TREES, BE THERE!!
